October was a good month for us:
1. We enjoyed some friends' Oktoberfest-ivities, which included 3-legged racing, apple bobbing, and root beer tasting.
2. Our ward did a chili cook-off/trunk-or-treat, which Leif and I dressed up for, and I completely forgot to take pictures! I thought we would just get pics on Halloween, but then we didn't wear our costumes that day. Bummer. I got Gavin's lion costume from Savers about a month ago, hoping it would fit him. Well, the pants ended up being capris on him, he wouldn't wear the paws, and I lost the brown face make-up I was going to use for a lion's nose, but I think he still looked adorable!
3. Gavin and I had fun preparing for Leif's Halloween birthday party (see previous post for more details).
4. We did Halloween dinner with Lance and Rach: meal-in-a-pumpkin, yummy sweet potato rolls, homemade root beer, and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. After trick-or-treating, we watched Hitchcock's "The Birds," laughing at the "scary" parts and snoozing during the slow parts, which were plentiful. Pretty dumb ending to the movie, but terrific ending to a great month!
Watch out November--here we come!

Gavin looks so cute as a lion, and Leif's is the scariest costume I've ever seen!
